Thanks all. man pkg_delete certainly implies your interpretation. It was pointed out to me that the action I was assuming (i.e., a deinstall of the kde meta-port would remove all the parts of KDE) was not logical. In my case I had installed Mesa and qt individually. So a deinstall can (should) not just walk blindly down the dependency tree removing ports. Sort off the topic but I found kde2 to be much too slow (for me) on my 166MHz so I am going back to 1.9 for the moment. if anyone else shares the too big, too slow thought; what would you try next for a window manager?
